Wow! Can't believe that price increase! It's crazy! Yes, please cross everything for Liverpool :) Nadia can heat up beans and soup and noodles in a pan - there's going to be some cooking lessons this summer I think!

lol, yeah she needs some cooking lessons, but then she'll be fine. Cooking is actually like Chemistry, maybe that can help as well, treating it like a science haha. Heating things does something to the taste and when you add other components it can change too. My colleague told me she loves the new Jamie Oliver book, the one with only 5 ingredients for a dish. She says she's not much of a cook herself, but now she feels like a chef and everything she has tried so far, worked and tasted great! I have a long day ahead of me....lots of meetings and a dinner with a meeting. I don't like meetings...

Your crossing things must've worked! Liverpool offer has arrived. We have a visit at the end of February for an introduction to the Physics department :D Of course Nadia still has to get her grades at A level, but she's very very happy.

Really? Well that is awesome!!! Now she will be extra motivated to get the grades, she was already going to get, because she is really smart! I hope the visit will be fabulous!

It gets better, once you wipe off most of the dust *cough* I'm fine. Christmas was nice, as was New Year's. Now back to reality...the reality of harsh Uni deadlines! We should dust off our world domination plans. I think I left them back in that corner *points to a dark corner full with cobwebs* I think the world is ready for us! And if they're not...that's just too bad!!!

Yeah, that one still hurts a little. It would've been so much fun to see them with you!!! But then we got to spend some more quality time together, which was really nice! Claudia and I think this show was the best we've seen so far...and this was the 5th time we saw Qotsa!

Kickass_Reena
Damn girl, you have been busy! Qotsa was great (of course). They played their first album...in it's entirety! Seriously! Front to back. It was great. After that they came back and played some other songs from the other albums. They even took requests!!! 21 songs in total...here's the setlist http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/queens-of-the-stone-age/2011/paradiso-amsterdam-netherlands-1bd3e1bc.html Don't want to make you jealous...but I understand that you are!

You were very brave! Even though you were nearby, they still went alone and everything went well and they were able to not bump into idiots. So there! Brave! My parents are thinking of going to Newcastle. Is there any special event in the near future? They are not sure if they will only stay for the afternoon or stay the night in Newcastle. They are going on that cruise-thingy. My mum won a free ticket...my dad however has to pay hahahaha

Oh my...Nadia went shopping with her friends! She has really grown up! That probably was nerve-wracking. Even though you know you've raised her well...all the other people in the world are idiots...I have been putting my winter clothes in the back of the closet...annoying job! I had a week off, tomorrow I have to get back to work...not really feel like it, after being free for so long...

Haha yeah you are bi-lingual. Who doesn't want to hear about splashing hippo's on a good morning ;-) Sounds like a nice job! Plus very good hours! Right about the time you have enough of work, you can actually go home! I'm fine. Today is "Liberation Day", the day the Dutch got liberated of Nazi Germany. There are free music festivals around the country. But I don't feel very well today, so I am just hanging out at home. Will visit my parents later.

Heya! I just send my application for my job...huh? Yeah we can get more money doing the same job...you do have to apply for it and have certain skills. I hope I will get the extra money. Could be a few hundred extra a month!!!! What have you been up to? Seen any good jobs?

Poor cousins...did they pretend they didn't know you ;-) And yeah, the right job will come along....just need to keep your eye out for it. I'm fine. Back to my own apartment today. Yay! Missed my bed. Parents had a great time in South Africa. They showed me some pictures...breathtaking beautiful! Getting used to the fact I don't have wifi in my house (yet) so I am caught in some wires now hehe. I am watching a program about babies born in 2010. It;s a documentary where they follow a few different families with their new babies. It's very interesting, because everyone reacts differently to their new baby.

Thanks, I am better today. As for the app...just imagine...we start with innocent things like a toast making app and then before you know it we can make them download apps to give us all their power...and such....hmmm we might need a few apps in between there...

ROFL! I stayed home sick today and was waiting for the Mac to bring me some freshly squeezed jus and some toast...I guess I haven't installed the right app yet ;-)

Yeah they are really enjoying themselves! I am really happy for them. And it's good they do it now...their knees still work and they can fully enjoy it now...maybe in a few years things will be different. Yes, the mac has arrived and I am typing on it as I...eh type ;-) It's a sexy machine, but I haven't figured out what is soooo much better about it than a PC laptop. It just looks snazzier I guess. But that's the least they can do for the price ;-)

Yeah Mac...I caved in...I refused to buy one for years now, because they are so damn expensive, but now...I can't deny it anymore. And it was on sale...hopefully it will get delivered tomorrow! Yeah, my parents are on holiday! They are in South Africa! Yesterday they texted me, saying they were going on safari...hopefully they will take beautiful photos!

I am staying over at my parents place at the moment for a few weeks, so won't be able to check every day. Will tell you when it arrives! I will try and make something for you as well...when I get my new computer! Hopefully I will be able to work on it! I am going mac!

They are coming to a Dutch festival, so I am sure they will do some gigs as well....I'll definately keep my fingers crossed for you two!!! She NEEDS to see them. Has she seen them live? I think she did, didn't she? A job at a school sounds excellent (I should know).

Looking for anything particular? That is kinda exciting, isn't it? Is Nadia's next school going to have the same hours? Nothing good playing anywhere near you? Greg Dulli is coming over to Amsterdam...without Mark Lanegan, but still...it's the Dulli *sigh*

Aaaah she's going to love that I'm sure....And YES you all should come over to Amsterdam!!! I am still at work at school. Have to visit kids at their internship now as well. Going to a company tomorrow morning. Other than that...the usual: concerts, movies, chilling, taking trips as often as I can...need to plan something for May I think. What about you?

Please don't apologize!!! Did you have a good holiday? I am fine. I got back from a long weekend Budapest, yesterday, you know, the surprise holiday for my colleague/friend. She found out, unfortunately. We had a great time. But I am sooo tired...I had to work today. Haven;t had the chance to "process" everything I've done and seen there...brrrr

Oh yes, I have been there, 3 years ago, to the Sziget festival as well (NIN played there). It's a very, very nice city and you MUST put it on your to-do list. It's beautiful and the people are very kind. The weather is very nice. And lots of things to see and to do. And not so expensive, so another reason to visit, hehe. The festival is very nive as well. Laid-back atmosphere and that year they had a very good line-up.

Hahaha yeah, well...I won't complain...much. I'll try ;-) In 2 weeks I'm going to Budapest! Just for a weekend. It's a surprise gift for a friend of mine. A bunch of us are going. And of course we are kidnapping her, and she doesn't know it (yet). Hopefully her boyfriend hasn't spilled the beans...he's a little too chatty.

I also make a list before packing! Once the list is done, I feel a little better. It's like the biggest and most important thing has been done, even though I haven't packed yet...really weird. Anyway, I am back! Berlin is great, but HUGE! I have the feeling I haven't even seen half of it. So unfortunately I will have to return pretty soon to see the rest of it. Yes, my life is hard, it's a big burden, but someone has to carry it ;-)

Hahaha yeah, that's because I have OCD when it comes to Bejeweled. And I am glad YOU broke my highscore and not some weirdo I don't know...I am trying not to have a panic attack. I have the feeling I need to a million things, when in fact I only have to do a few...always before I go on holiday I have that feeling...I will only be gone for a few days...
